| 578981 | 2007-08-10 06:34:00 | Hello All, Just yesterday my phone was lost from school. I looked for it but it was nowhere near where i had been that day, so i was wondering if someone perhaps took it. So i filled in a lost/theft form thingemabob but i doubt this will be much use so i was wondering about phone tracking - is it possible to track your phone via the net because my battery will prob still be trucking along i suspect thus locating signal so is it poss to find an approximate location on it using my cell number or some number on the box? (like the esn???) Thanks a Bunch, Tyrone |

| 578987 | 2007-08-10 16:23:00 | Aw, c'mon. U wanna make us olds have to look up stuff. Ok, let me clarify that then. What the hell are you talking about this time Stu? You sincerely think you can't back up information from Sim cards? |

| 578988 | 2007-08-10 20:30:00 | Unless some honest person picks it up and hands it in, it's more than likely a gone-burger . If a 'casually honest' person picks it up, and the phone isn't a high-end, popular, easily resaleable one it may get handed in (this is possibly more likely if it's on the Telecom network, since they are not as easily 'converted' - no SIM card) . Unfortunately, your question about tracking the signal from the phone is a myth, perpetuated by the likes of TV programmes like CSI - see page 71 of the latest PC World . |
